Gautier, T. N., 1993, "Cirrus and Future Space Based Astronomy", https://hdl.handle.net/2014/35845, Tucson, AZ, JPL Open Repository
Astronomical observations from space make possible observations of sensitivity and spatial resolution impossible in the past. This increase in sensitivity will both make possible the observation of new phenomena and will bring observations against limitations not encountered befo... |
